Hair Transplant Surgery For Men And Women In Santa Cruz, California

Our Pricing Philosophy

Please understand that we do not charge by the graft. In our view, pricing hair transplantation this way can be misleading. When a clinic says it is providing “1,000 grafts,” that number alone does not tell you how much hair you are actually receiving. Grafts can contain one, two, or three hairs, and each of those scenarios results in a very different amount of total hair—yet the patient is charged the same simply because the graft count is identical. For this reason, we believe graft-based pricing does not always reflect the true value or outcome of a procedure.

Instead, we have chosen what we believe is a fairer and more transparent approach: pricing based on the amount of donor tissue removed. Our planning is based on averages. The average adult male has approximately 200 hairs per square centimeter in the donor area, though individual hair density varies. Regardless of individual density, patients at the same pricing level receive approximately the same amount of donor tissue extracted, ensuring consistency in what is taken rather than relying on graft numbers that can vary significantly in hair content. While it is not possible to guarantee an exact number of square centimeters removed, we make every effort to come as close as possible to the planned amount—and when feasible, we aim to slightly exceed it rather than fall short.
